In a medium mixing bowl, add the ground/ minced meat and all the ingredients except oil.
If you are adding egg, then whisk it in a separate bowl and add to the meat.
Mix well for 7 to 10 minutes with your hands to get a smooth paste. While mixing try smashing the meat against the base of the bowl. This will give you a smooth paste!
Let it marinate in refrigerator for a minimum of 45 minutes. (I generally leave it overnight.)
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180 C or 360 F.
If you are using wooden skewers, immerse it in water for 15 minutes before using. This will ensure your kebab coming out easily once cooked.
Once the marination is done, wet your hands and form balls with the mince. Take the skewers and press out the kebab. Repeat for all the balls.
Take a baking sheet and place a baking liner. Brush oil. Place the skewers on them and brush oil over the skewers.
Place them in the oven at 180 C or 360 F for 30 minutes.
Keep turning the skewers and brush with oil (if required) in between to get an equal char on all sides.
Remove the kebabs from skewers and serve with green chutney and a salad side. Enjoy!
You can add a naan/ paratha or roti to make it a meal.
